[Lukongsimi]

Balam was a soothsayer, according to the Bible, and people paid him to speak falsehood and lies lah!  Just an example of false prophet lah! Some Gentiles, non-Jews, spoke for God lah! Did you know that God actually used a donkey to warn Balam to back off? 

What Did Balaam Do?
Balaam rode his donkey along with the Moabites to go curse the Israelites. We don’t know why God was “angry when he went” (Number 20:22) but we can imagine God knows Balaam’s ways. To end Balaam’s willfulness, God sends an angel to block the path. But Balaam, intent on his assignment, doesn’t notice the angel. But the donkey does. Three times.
The first time, it causes the donkey to swerve away. And in an unsettling reveal of Balaam’s true nature, Balaam beats the frightened donkey back onto the path. The second time, the angel stands in a narrow path with walls on both sides. Again...Balaam exacts his frustration by beating the poor donkey. Finally, on the third account, the angel stands where “there is no room to turn, either to the right or the left” (Numbers 20:26).
The donkey is so frightened, it lays down, with Balaam still riding him. And how does Balaam behave? You guessed it. He beats the terrified animal who is already as low as he can get.
At this point, Scripture tells us the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and the donkey asks “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?” Outraged Balaam cries, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand I would kill you right now” (Numbers 20:29).
